1. Rick Chappell, Focus Group co-Chair emeritus: Summary of Progess, thoughts for the next year
2. Barbara Giles of NASA GSFC Additional access to Polar TIDE outflow data base, new tools, new data products
3. additional participants welcome! you are welcome to add your contribution here or to email barbara.giles@nasa.gov and shashaz@umich.edu
4. Open Discussion of Storm Studies
5. Open Discussion of Plans

Shall we reboot our collaborative efforts on the Storm Challenges?

• Storm 1: 2016 Mar 4-8 (DOY 64-68)
• Storm 2: 2016 Oct 11-15 (285-289) <-- some work has been done on this event
• Possibly: 2016 May 6-10 (127-131)
• Possibly, new since last year: 2018 Aug 25-31
  • Especially including new and newly-restored data sets
  • Other specialized events/studies are welcome, especially those speaking to statistical states. It is important to study not only storm times, but also non-storm times in which the ionosphere is feeding the plasma sheet and building it up steadily prior to any reconnection or storm activity.

This will also be a focus for M3I2 GEM Mini-Workshop at 2019 Fall AGU.
